Royalty32: So disappointed in EA. I remember way back when NBA Live was the shit. If you were a gamer and a basketball fan Live was a must. Shit i remember have tournements at my house…though were the days. Now EA just let 2K rip its heart out. Damn shame!

It is a crying shame. EA has really fallen far. MVP Baseball was great. Really, only FIFA and NHL are any good from EA. Madden hardly counts because we all know 2K would blow Madden out of the water had the NFL not given EA exclusive rights.

Markus:
I agree with every word of your post. And the tournaments that we had were epic. I’m talking game 7 game winning buzzer beating treys from half court. 10-2 runs with 30 seconds left in the game. Good times…I picked up NBA Live 2010 and I was VERY disappointed. People even laughed at me for not buying 2K10 -.- How could I have known that EA would ruin a franchise such as Live?

I stopped picking up Live in 2006. 2K was still better in every way, even on the PS2. I don’t think EA itself screwed up, it was just 2K became better at making basketball games. Especially after EA got exclusive rights to the NFL. I imagine that really pissed the higher-ups at 2K and Take-Two Interactive off.

Darklurkr23: NBA Jam?Like the one on the Wii?Awesome Always loved NBA Jam, cause it didnt’ take itself too seriously.It was the ONLY Basketball game I ever wanted to play.All the real sports games are too boring.Give me Super Mario Kart, NFL Blitz, Uhhh Ninja Batman?(this weird 2-d side scroller about a NInja/Robot Baseball team…….Yea…..Anyway, where is Tekken Baseball?!

2010’s NBA Jam was on the PS3 and 360 too, and pretty good from what I heard. I remember playing the original arcade cabinet. I haven’t tried the reboot yet.

Ves: This is bad news for NBA games for 2012, 2K has shown with NBA2K11 that they aren’t willing to solve issue and with no competition who will say they will add new features or fix the ‘broken ones’

Agreed. We all knew that 2K was better than EA at making basketball sims (just like EA is better than 2K at making hockey sims), but having them both abandon their weakest sports titles is bad for the evolution of the genre.
